I just completed the strangest trip to Congo ever! From the start to finish, it was unique.
- I arrived on Friday, January 1st. It was the evening of New Year's Day, and a national holiday. But it appeared like the holidays kept coming. Officially, there are only four holidays in January. BUT unofficially, there was about four more. It appeared things did not get back to Congo-normal until after Monday, January 17th.
- I planned to go to Bulape for two weeks. BUT I did not go. One of the main purposes of the trip was to go to Bulape. On every previous trip over the last 11 years, I have went to Bulape. Transportation to the outback was just not available.
One good thing to remember about the trip was a great porkchop dinner at Restau Visao in Kananga.
And yes, I saw them carrying a television on the back on motorbike.
